    this is good s***

    i need to sit down and peep a full album so hopefully it clicks

    Their compilation SUBSTANCE is soooo good man

    It's a collection of their singles from like the first act of their career and it's soooo good

    They did a funny thing where like 80% of their singles (the ones that actually became hits in the UK) didn't end up on their actual LPs, they were just 1 offs in between their albums. So, substance sorta gives them a home

    And it's a f***ing banger album

    calling him hip hop stevie just makes so much sense in my brain

    A great piece of hip hop lore is Ice Cube went to NY in 1989 to do Amerikkkas Most Wanted ( a brilliant album) and he didnt have a producer bc Dre was gonna produce it but Eazy E or Jerry Heller blocked it

    One of Cube’s NY friends told him to let Q Tip produce it but Cube didnt do it bc he didnt know who he was yet bc Tribe hadn’t dropped any music yet. He went with Bomb Squad instead which was a great choice but I do wonder what Tip woulda did

    Tip is literally sitting on three solo album right now. Idk why he hasn't drop anything this decade

    To me, this is worst than D'Angelo

    It’s because he’s insecure about his rapping voice. That’s why bro barely raps anymore outside of doing an occasional hook.

    The album is incredibly sad

    I honestly think Tip and Ali finishing that album in the midst of Phife’s death changed both of them. Neither one of them had seemed genuinely happy since and it makes me sad

    And the fact that they aren’t on good terms anymore makes me sadder

    Wait???

    TIP AND ALI FELL OUT????

    I honestly wouldn’t care if he did a whole album singing over jazz

    Melatonin and Blue Girl showed me he could do that

    Bro can absolutely still rap his ass off

    His voice has just gotten a lot higher pitched over the years compared to the early 90s Tip and I think it’s been something in recent years that has hindered him from releasing more work.

    That's sad, because he has one of the most unique rap voices ever.

    Pretty much birthed Magoo's whole style

    I honestly think between Dre, Q Tip, and Bomb Squad dre was the worst option at that time. Not bc hes a bad producer at all bit I think the NY production brought something different out of Cube
